Brock Jensen 2010-2013 set the standard at NDSU at 48-5 as a starter.

. . . never to be broken, whoops

Then, Easton Stick 2015-2018 went 49-3.

Trey Lance 16-0 could stick around and break it, but not likely.

Between Jensen and Stick, Wentz went 20-3.

Had leidner gone to ndsu he’d be starting in the NFL. When ndsu called he told him I am going to MN.
 


I love that MN was 5 and 1 in games Leidner played but did not start. Alway thought he was a great change of pace QB.

True.

It's interesting to factor in the quality of opposition.

I seem to recall both Mason and Kill being criticized for scheduling non conference cupcake opponents.

Also, what year was it the B1G make the schedule change, going from 4 non conference games to 3? Was it 2016, Claeys only full season as head coach?

So I went and looked at data for some notable and most post 2000 QBs. Not all the info is fully detailed but you can kinda guestimate.

  • Sandy Stephens, 1959-1961, 18 wins over that time period
  • Tony Dungy, 1973-1976, 23 wins over that time period. Main playing time was 75 and 76, where the Gophers went 6-5 both years
  • Rickey Foggie, 1984-1987, 23 wins over that time period.
  • Cory Sauter, 1994-1997, 13 wins over that time period. Main playing time was 94-97. Gophers won three in 95, four in 96 and three in 97.
  • Asad Abdul Khaliq, 2000-2003, 28 wins over that time period. Split time in 2000.
  • Bryan Cupito, 2004-2006, 20 wins over that time period
  • Adam Weber, 2007-2010, 17 wins in games started
  • MarQueis Gray, 2011-2012, 6 wins in games started
  • Max Shortell, started and won only the Syracuse game I believe in 2012.
  • Phillip Nelson, 2012-2013 9 wins in games started
  • Mitch Leidner 2014-2016, 22 wins in games he started in
  • Conor Rhoda, 2016-2017, 4 wins in games started
  • Demry Croft, 2017, 2 wins in games started
  • Zack Annexstad, 2018-Current, won 3 games started
  • Tanner Morgan, 2018-Current, won 15 games started

Not sure if this is accurate but if it is:
Khaliq 28
Foggie 23
Dungy 23
Liedner 22
Cupito 20
Morgan 20


Morgan now tied for top 5 if this is accurate
 



According to the Gophers’ official football media guide, Leidner had 24 wins as the starting QB.

AAK had 22 wins as a starter.
Morgan has 23 thru yesterday.
Dungy had 16 wins
Foggie had 20 wins
Cupito had 20 wins

I think Morgan is at 23. In the Minnesota Game Notes before Maryland they had Morgan with the highest win percent in program history at .688 (22-10).

Leidner might as well be the face of the Kill/Claeys era:

Tough, strong, a little under-skilled. Sometimes underwhelming and other times over-performing. Like 2014 they lost to a mediocre Illinois team, then shellacked Iowa and went toe-to-toe with eventual National Champion OSU.

David Cobb with the fumble backed up to our end zone is what I remember from that afternoon

Am I misreading something or is this light for Morgan?

he had 11 wins in 2019 and so far this year has 5, plus another 3 in 2020 and a few more in 2018.
 

Does ML7’s win total count the Rutgers game that was “basically a loss”?
